A QUEER DINNER.

Eccentrlclty at the dlnner-taDle seems
to be the rage this season. any startling
or unique innovation appears to be well
come. The fresh young man, who cuts
q human face on an orange and then
squeezes the fruit until the eyes weep
and the mouth drizzles, is in his glory.
If ladiesare at the table he takes greater
pleasure in exhibiting his artistic skill.
A few smile, sorne give vent to exclama-
tons of commisseration, and others
preserve a dignifed silence. Feeling
an orange geometrically is another ac-
compEshment. The yellow rind is cut
in lines with sharp penknife until it
resembles the prisoners puzzle, Just
now attracting so much attention. The
skin is then stripped from the fruit in
sections, making quaint angles, made
amusing by the explanations accompa-
nying them. The apple, the Malaga
grape, the radish, and the banana also
afford much amusement in the hands OF
accomplished artists. Indeed, one man
has won such 6ciat by his skill in carving
vegetables and eseulents that he is
known in society as Banana Bob"
DINNER-TABLE EccESIRIcITIRs.
Frequently these dining-table eccen-
tricities are turned into practical jokes.
At little dinner given to ex-Sheriff
William Wright, of Newark, n. j., at
George Hopcraft's recently the guests
were in a continual roar of laughter.
The chocolate cream candies were
stuffed with cotton, the lemon drops
were made Of gum guaiacum, and the
candied almonds were filled with Tabas-
co sauce. Vegetables in covered dishes
were placed on the table with each
course, and the guests were asked to
assist in serving them. In removing
the covers live eel, an enormous bull
frog, and huge lizard from Lake On
taIio were disclosed. All were ex-
tremely lively. The eel slipped with
in the low-cut waistcoat OF the
Sheriff. the bullfrog landed on
Fish Commissioner Charles Murphys
shoulder, and the lizard shot into the
bosom OF the wicked Senator Gibbs.
An old shoe, widowed and rotten, was
placed before Mr.. McSwyny, we'll
known shoemaker. He grew red in
the face, and was about to treat the
joke as mortal insult when the Hon.
james Oliver, of Paradise Park, turned
the old shoe over, opened slide in the
sole, and disclosed dozen cigars OF
the finest favor. The shoe was can
died dummy made TO order. The little
party became 10 boisterous in its mer-
riment that 0 police officer OF Irish de-
scent appeared On seeing the condi-
ton Of the table, the room, and its oc-
cnpanie be apologised Tor bic intrusion,

WHAT is WANTED.

And the public, too, complains, for
there is no place to visit at night, and
the loungers and men about town are
disconsolate. 1t is a great pity that in
such a great city as New York there
should be such a provincial spirit in
amusement matters. The people who
love to be diverted at night and are
anxious and willing to pay for it find
themselves absolutely at loss. There
is nothing as a substitute for the Music
Hall of London or the Cafe Chantant
of Paris. Nowhere in a city of 2, 900, 900
inhabitants can man find a place of
amusement where he can sit and smoke
a good cigar and find amusement, or be
amused by clever song for an hour or
two after dinner. The searcher for
amusement in New York may go to q
rigidly-conducted and far from enter
tanning theatre, or he may stay at home.
There is no such thing as middle
choice.

FAILURES AT wALLACK's.

As for Wallack's Theatre the variety
of the failures seems to have no per-
ceptible effect on it. Nobody knows
exactly on what theory Wallack's is
run. The house is no longer fashiona-
bic, for DAILY has captured its entire
clientele, and its present silly melo-
drama, " Harbor Lights" only attracts
people from out oftown. There are capa-
BILE actors in the company, and the
scenery and accessories are invariably
beyond reproach. But the dramatic
stuff that the theatre dishes up is trite,
tiresome, and antique. have been in
Wallack's seven or eight times this sea-
son and have never yet seen the house

AS for the Union-Square Theatre, its
vicissitudes were 80 unfortunate and
unimportant that no one has paid any
particular attention to it. Nearly the
same thing may be said of the Stand
ard, and the misfortunes of the other
houses would make tedious reading.
Exactly what has contributed most
to the unsatisfactory nature of the
present season is difficult to indicate,
for the failures have been diverse.

fortune since October, and he is at

WESTERN BLOOD.
[ came to New J
A NEW BUSINESS.

Western energy and dash was never
better demonstrated than in the case Of
a young man from that section who
came to New York about month ago
to seek his fortune. His capital would
hardly have been sufficient TO pay two
months board bill. He answered in
Vulnerable advertisements and visited
number of business houses in hope of
securing employment, but all his eff
forts in this direction were in vain.
He was about to despair, and finally
was trying to concoct some way by
which he could secure transportation
home when he Glanced to- visit q
place where the wax images OF some
of the famous people of the coun-
try are ON exhibition. There he was
seized with an idea that has resulted
n his building up a paying business,
end which promises before long to be
lucrative. He noticed how interested
the people were as they viewed the
images Of such distinguished persons as
General Sherman, Colonel lngersoll,
and others more or less famous. when
this thought struck him: "If these
people are wiling to pay fifty cents
to look at wax images they would GER
tainly pay that or larger amount to
zee the originals. Why, almost every
day ! could show them fifty men whose
names are a household word by taking
them to the corridors of the leading
hotels"
He saw one party Of gentlemen evil

(corresrcndencc OF the Richmend Dispatch
New York, March 3, 1887.
This season will go down in dramatic
annals as the most unsatisfactory one of
recent years. The array OF failures is
in pressiye and disheartcning. "Jim
the Penman is a success, and Mr.. Da-
Tvs revival of the Tanning of the
Shrew" has won its way steadily from
the start, but the other plays have ST.
lently died away, and one production
after another has met with its doom al
most as quickly as il was produced. II
is surprising to realize how difficult il is
to achieve success on the New York
stage.
A man of unquestionable genius and
comedian OF national reputation, Mr..
n. c. Goodwin, took the Bijou Theatre
in the early part of the season and pro-
duced a bnrlesque which has been the
rage In London ever since August.
Little Jack Shepherd was we'll
written, lavishly mounted, and admi
rably played. 1t was not a success.
Then farce comedy which Mr.. Good
win bought in London was brought ont
with noticeably strong company, and
ran for short season. The acting of
Mr.. Goodwin in this piece was wonder
fully diverting and amusing, but he did
not create a sensation by any means.
Then he produced the "Mascot," and
that was succeeded this week by the re-
production of the Skating Rink" a
clever skit on silly craze by Robert
Griffin Morris.
When it is taken into consideration
that during his previous visits to New
York Mr.. Goodwin always played to
the full capacity Of immense theatres
like the Grand Opera House and Niblo's
Garden, itis difficult to understand how
he has escaped a great success at
popular theatre like the Bijou when
surrounded by the best conditions.
MISS HELEN DAUvRAY
is another instance of pluck and perse-
versnce expended to no purpose.
There is probably no more beautiful
theatre in New York than the Lyceum,
and Miss Dauvray, no matter what
opinion may be held as to her powers
as an actress, is knowing stage-mans-
ger and woman of excellent artistic
perception. Her company is admirs-
bic. Play after play has been mounted
at the Lyceum, acted with originality
and skill, but not to crowded houses
Miss Dauvray's courage in producing
new plays and paying big prices for
them has not availed her in this case.
The public simply will not go to her
theatre.
The Fifth-Avenue Theatre has been
dismal to the last degree. Failures
have succeeded each other until they
are all capped and sunk into oblivion
by Gilbert and Suliyan's unfortunate
"Ruddypore."
